Sir, your video is excellent. I just wanted to suggest a minor correction. Actually 'Baka' means 'Crane/Heron' so, 'Bakasana' would mean 'Crane Pose'. 'Kaka' means 'Crow', so 'Crow Pose' is actually 'Kakasana'.
@@mah-007 sir, 'Mal' actually comes in hindi from Sanskrit only. And the Asana is written in devanagari script as 'मलासन' and not as 'मालासन'. Devanagari script is used in writing both Hindi and Sanskrit languages. Also the Asana does not resemble a garland in any way. The Asana is simply a squatting posture. Since back in those days all people used this posture to excrete feces, this Asana came to be known as मलासन (malasana).
Thank You so much. This is helping me a lot. Walking into a class that a teacher only uses Sanskrit words can be a little frustrating when one isn't used to the terminology
Thanks for offering the alternative spellings. Since they are being translated from Sanskrit there’s no one way that’s right or wrong. As long as the spelling helps to approximate the original pronunciation as close as possible.
Thank you for the kind words. Yes I’m of Indian origin, and born and raised in India. Was also fortunate to learn yoga from some amazing teachers in Indian. Thanks for watching 🙏🏽
Mattur (or Mathoor) is a village in Shivamogga district near the city of Shivamogga in Karnataka state, India, known for the usage of Sanskrit for day-to-day communication, although the general language of the state is Kannada.
The Best way to see these asanas origin is to find the etymology of the asana name... Etymology if properly seen will always end in Tamil language... Most Indians know this, I am typing here so other nationals also knows history and its origin....
I'm sure there is overlap as Tamil/Sanskrit are both ancient languages. But I think using words like 'best' and 'always' makes a statement sound dogmatic, and thus weakens the argument.
All over India, ancient stone carvings found and placed in palaces are in Tamil/Granthai language, also pathanjali scripts, but in Google we see Sanskrit everywhere, that's the power of digital media.. History can be altered and appear it as truth....
@@TheKaizenProjekt My comment and point was every video across RUclips Sanskrit is used to denote yoga, spirituality etc., But there are stone scripts that even Tamil is used in Patanjali period who is believed to gave yoga to world... I am more curious to know why no were mentions of Tamil language in digital media when there is a talk of yoga....As other country people usually refer digital media to know about India and its culture, they must not always be presented with wrong information and that's my concern..... Its not the comment for this channel but in general...
Virabhadra is the name of a powerful warrior in Hindu mythology. The name is derived from the Sanskrit vira, meaning “hero,” and bhadra, meaning “friend.”
Sir thank you so much for that, because being an Indian I wasn't aware about their sanskrit names, even though I found it very difficult to remember those sanskrit name but you made it easy for me thank you very much for that video. It just seems you're having less flexibility due to your muscularity, but once you get flexible you'll ace in yoga.
I'm glad you found the video useful. Yes, you're right a combination of being muscular and growing up in North America has contributed to my loss of flexibility but it's something that I continue to work towards. Thank you for the well wishes.
It is not /asan/ in sanskrit. It is /āsana/. In hindi the inherent vowel is dropped and that is why people say /āsan/. The [ā] is a locative affix. It denotes the place at, in, or upon which something occurs or exists. It is the same [ā] as in /āśrama/, which means the place of śrama (effort). In dhanurāsana the word is parsed danuH + āsana. When the final sibilant (h) meets a vowel it changes to [r] due to rules of sandhi. Anyways, for an intro video these technicalities are overwhelming, but are worth keeping in mind.
I appreciate the video However you explained most of the poses in Sanskrit then in English and then stopped doing the explanation towards the middle end of the video I wanted to just listen to learn redundantly and it made this a bit more challenging
I see your point and appreciate it. It’s a bit harder to break down some of the poses with direct translations. Nevertheless, if I do a follow-up I will keep this feedback in mind. Thank you for watching !
wonderful! I have struggled for 16 years, while memorizing some yoga sanskrit. Language other than english has been a challenge. you broke this down very well and pronunciation was excellent to understand. I just need to go over it about 5 x commiting to memory while looking at the word.
I would like to add that asana actually means a place where you sit, such as Vyasasana. The chair where Vyasa or one who speaks Vyasa's, ( Vyasadeva, the compiler of Vedanta) philosophy. The "pose" is actually a position in which the body is balanced and "sitting" in a relaxed fashion. Asana= place where you sit. Thank you.
@@TheKaizenProjekt on national tv of india that is DD News, There is daily news reporting telecasted along with news debate in this language.. people do speak this language.

I dont agree that Sanskrit is a dead language just because the average indian doesnot know to read & write it. There are scores of people speaking, chanting & learning sanskrit in regular schools & vedic institutions.
In Sanskrit there is no alphabet that sounds as OOh, that’s why they write oohm as uum (ॐ) but in Tamil alphabet ‘ஓ’ exists that’s why ohm is written as ௐ which confirms ohm comes from Tamil, everything around the word “Ohm” or ௐ is from Tamil language only and its culture. And it confirms Sanskrit is a foreign language to Indian subcontinent.
Are you expert of sanskrit, did you ever heard about ओ its sound as oo, ou उ , ऊ go to school its been taught in LKG and UKG. You people became blind in hate.

The Om sound is a vikruti. Actually ॐ is a compound sound (see I am saying sound, not letter or alphabet). It is a combination of a(अ), oo (ऊ), and makaar (म). The formula for ॐ is अकार चरण कमल, ऊकार ऊदर विशाल मकार महामंगल, मस्तक अकारे Which also tells the actual pronunciation. अकार resonates around and below that naval, ऊकार above the naval and in the chest and makaar in the head. Forming vikruti is a common process in Vedic chanting and there are several other vikruti. Infact, a lot can be said about the structure of syllable ॐ and it's philosophical and meta physical connotation but you can easily find that on the net if you keep you silly emotional biases aside.
I was so with you until you called Sanskrit a dead language because if you have a deep practice and you chant it's a prayer language. And as a prayer language it's deeply alive I wish I could have you go back and change that one thing in your video it hurt my heart
Sanskrit is as alive as Latin, perhaps more so but it isn’t a language that’s used for communication between people hence I used the phrase ‘dead language’.

But here are my thoughts - Sanskrit is not a language that’s used in everyday communication, nor is it used to communicate current ideas and/or information.
